Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai along with Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sharma, Durg MLA Gajendra Yadav addressed the press at the Chief Minister’s residence regarding the approval given by the Central Government under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai said that this is a matter of happiness for Chhattisgarh. We want to convey our message to the people who were deprived of Pradhan Mantri Awas in the last five years during the Congress government.
He said that the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana is a scheme for the welfare of the poor. 18 lakh families of the state were deprived during the then Bhupesh Baghel government. The Baghel government snatched the rights of the poor only because the name of the Prime Minister was mentioned in this scheme.
The Chief Minister said that during the elections, Prime Minister Modi had promised that a decision would be taken on this as soon as the government is formed. As soon as the BJP government came to power in the state, this decision was taken in the first cabinet itself. Due to the state government not depositing the state share, the central amount was allocated to another state.
He said that the Government of India has approved 8 lakh 46 thousand houses. People deprived due to the inaction of the previous government will get the benefit. Out of these, 24 thousand houses have been completed for the people of special backward tribes.
The Chief Minister alleged that the previous government had approved housing for 47 thousand 90 people by making a separate scheme, out of which housing was approved for 25 thousand people. We are not discriminating in the announcement made by the previous government. The remaining people will also get the benefit of the housing scheme.
Under the able leadership of Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the Union Cabinet has approved this scheme for the remaining 6,99,331 families in the permanent waiting list prepared on the basis of SECC 2011 data under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin and 1,47,600 families out of 8,19,999 families of Awas Plus.

Vishnu Dev Sai said that the Niyad Nellenar scheme has brought development in Naxal-affected areas. We had requested Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan to provide separate Prime Minister’s housing for Naxal-affected areas. It is hoped that approval for ten thousand houses can be obtained. Surrendered Naxalites will benefit from this.
